News has just reached the Cube-Europe headquarters claiming Nintendogs has been selling like mad in the first week after its release in the land of the rising sun (21 - 24 April)! During these first four days, approximately 135.000 units, erhm dogs, were sold.

Nintendogs is now officially the fastest selling Nintendo DS title in Japan to date! Nintendo's puppy simulation has beaten Super Mario 64, which sold 120.000 copies in its first week.

As an effect, Nintendo DS unit sales tripled in the same week (18 - 24 April) to a magnificant 72.000 units. During the previous week 22.000 units were sold of the dual screened unit. Expect the full Japanese charts to be posted on Cube-Europe in a couple of days.
